Smart Bike

It's taken a little while (ok over a decade!) but it seems like big companies and local government head honchos are finally ready to put some time and money behind the development of bike sharing programs. The idea is old news in Europe but has yet to reach critical mass in the states. 

If you're in Washington, DC, check out Smart Bike to read more about America's first self service public bike rental program. Come on Los Angeles! Catch on!!!

Go Blue Instead of Go Green?

Going "Blue" kicked off its program as a way to help out Habitat for Humanity with free insulation.
Cotton Incorporated has been recycling old blue jeans into home insulation over the past few years. The program is called Cotton From Blue To Green and has taken thousands of blue jeans nationwide and turned them into home insulation.

Cotton Incorporated is teaming up with National Geographic Kids, hoping to break a world record for recycled clothes. Help support the cause and donate your jeans today at National Geographic Kids,
